How do I clean and assemble these cups?
Step 1: Clean the cup before first use and immediately after each use. Cleaning instructions: The cup, lid, and valve (or straw) are top rack dishwasher safe, away from the heat source, or are hand washable. Remove the valve from cups with spouts, or remove both straw pieces and open the valve connected to the short straw. For the First Lil’ Gripper™ Cup, separate the top from the bottom straw, from the lid before washing. For cups with spouts, store the valve under the lid when washing parts in the dishwasher. Avoid use of abrasive cleaners.
Step 2: For cups with spouts, after cleaning, pinch both ends of valve to open slits. 1). Then insert the valve firmly until it can’t be pushed any further. 2). For cups with straws, after cleaning, pinch attached valve to open slit before reinserting it back into the end of the short straw. 3). Then reinsert short straw though bottom of lid and attach long straw onto end of valve. For the First Lil’ Gripper™ Cup, attach long straw into top straw.
Step 3: After filling the cup, screw lid on tightly by twisting until the arrows line up and you hear/feel the click.
Can I microwave these cups?
No, we don’t recommend microwaving since liquid inside can heat unevenly or over heat and burn baby’s mouth even if outside of cup feels cool.
